Carlisle of Pueblo. call to mind an Incl

OF the men who became rich from ths

alluded to was Gus Rische. and when
the present millionaire and ex-senator,
Tabor, was keeping store in California
Gulch, Mr.. Tabor used to grub stake y
Rische while he prospected for lead.
Eventually ii,che and his crony, a man
named Hook, almost accidentally found
the great carbonate lead that quickly
built city among the clouds and doomed
Denver so satisfactorily, and made a
large number of milliOnaires. OF course
Rische became rich with the others, but,
being always man of unexalted tastes
and decidedly ilierate, there came time
within few years in which social line
OF demarcation wa drawn. Thus it
happened that once. when Tabor and

Rabbit HydrOphObia.

DIR. J. Ii. Clarke writes to o Louton
paper: The deaths Of two young men
-Goffi in London. and Arthur Wilde in
i'otherham within three weeks of the
completion of the Pasteurian treatment
for hydrophobia, with symptoms of an
exceedingly suspicious nature. are events
calling for the fullest and closest
scrutiny. The cause of death was certi-
fed to be congestion of the lungs, but
this was only the last OF train Of sygnr-
toms of most unusual kind. The in
tense prostratiOn. the paralysis of inter
nal organs discovered after death, and
the rapid progress Of The disease are
strikingly like the symptoms mantle. ted
by Off, and bear more than SUSPICIOUS
resemblance to the pa alytic rabies of
which VI. Fasteur says the rabbits die.
1t seems TO me that the evidence that
both OF these men died in consequence
OF the nineteen NEGOTIATIONS they re-
ceived in Paris is overwhelmingly
strong. believe that he did not die
from congestion of the lungs. nor from
ordinary hydro 1hobia, but from the rab-
bit hydropho5ia of ". Pasteur.'
1t is stated that the average life ofmis-
sionarles in foreign lands is rather more
than eighteen years. In tropical climates,
usually regarded as less favorable to
health, the average time of service varies
from seventeen and a half to twenty
three and three quarter years. The pro-
portion of deaths among female mission.
aries is not greater, but somewhat less,
than among men; and the average Of
both compare favorably with that Of
ministers and their wives in this coup-
try.

In a recent patent decision by Judge
Shipman of the United States Circuit
Court the following rules were laid down
concerning improvements on inventions
already in existence A new combination
of all parts for attaining an oh iect may
sometimes, and perhaps often, be so OBJ
vious as to merit no title to invention.
While in ordinary cases of new combina,
tions of all parts for attaining an object
novelty and utility are evidences of in
vention, there should be other evidence
to show that it exists. Evidence of in
vention, in addition to novelty and util-
ity, may often be found in the machine
itself, which shows that it came from
n creative mind, or the necessary evil
dence may sometimes be found in the
history OF the invention. In this case the
patentee accomplished new and bene-
fetal result by meas which others had
been near to and apparently wanted to
find, but did no. see. Hell that he was
entitled to be styled an inventor

there are other fruits which are SO very
foreign that we have 10 ingiish names
for them. There is the .apotc, for ex-
ample, which grows in Mexico, South
America and the West Indies. The flavor
OF this fruit is SWEET and pleasant No
care is required to bring il to maturity.
1t is as wild rs the acorn, though more
toothsomc. Another foreign fruit is the
caimitos, which grows on tree as large
as our apple tree. This is served for
dessert and has mildly tart fla. or From
Peru comes the chir:mOyas. Larger than
the apple is the mamayes. This has
rough skin and pink interior, an. is
coarse in flavor In shape it resembles
somewhat the pumpkin. Widely known
is guava jelly, which is made from the
guava fruit, which grows wild, and is
much like the apple in firmness, al
though resembling in appearance the
apricot. With most Northerners it is
an acquired taste, being considered at
first rather too sweet OF the grape
fruit class is the fruita bomba The
outer covering of tn s is quite bitter
and must be removed from tie pulp,
which is most delicious.
Fly the various names of sguacates,
avagodo pear and alligator pear ie
known a peculiar fruit, shaped like a
large pear and weighing sometimes as
much rs three pounds. The shell is
smooth and tough. In the centre is
large pit about as hard as q horse chest
nut. 4 curious thing abont the pit is
the fact that it viii make brownish
mark which is indelible. This avagodo
pear is also called >ubaltcrn's butter. for
which it makes an excellent substitute.
1t is made into salad in the West H.
d :es and is popular dish. being much
affected by the soldiers. The mango. or
West India peach, stands very high
among tropical fruits. 1t has smooth
skin and i of brilliant hucs, green, gold
and crimson. There is at first slight
suggestion of turpentine in its flavor,
but to this one soon becomes accustomed.
and all find it a most delightful fruit.
OF course the orange and banana
come to us in the greatest perfection.
They can be plucked green and will
ripen on the voyage, which cannot be
done with the pineapple. Larger than
the tanana is the plantain, which it re-
sembles. In southern countries it Is
much Il ed for cooking purposes, being
baked or fried like our apples, and is
staple article of food. The cassava. or
bread fruit, is not often imported. From
this is made cassava bread, the chief
iood of the poorer classes. The yucca
and the yam are roots of the Iotato va
r:ety, much esteemed by the negroes.
In their season many OF thee fruits may
be purchased in New York. and the de-
mand for them is increasing. -Ecu York
